  • the invention will provide and implement a device and a method to manufacture the device such as silicone broom head in a one stage process.
  • the most common brooms have a handle connected at its lower end to a broom head containing a mass of natural or synthetic fibers at its bottom generally arranged to form opposing spaced apart sides bristles.
  • the majority of brooms made these days by industrial process and made of wooden block or plastic block manufactured by several phases of production.
  • Newly innovated brooms are made of rubber parts in a process such as described in US patent no. US6108854.
  • US patent US7819487 reveals a way to manufacture a silicone squeegee in several steps process and with different materials with different hardness.
  • Fig 1 illustrates one embodiment of a silicone broom comprises a broom stick handle (1 ) and a broom head (3) comprises plurality of bristles (4).
  • Fig 2 illustrates side view of one embodiment of a silicone broom with squeegee blade (8).
  • Fig 3 illustrates a side cross-section of one embodiment revealing the chassis (5) embedded into the head section of the silicone broom and the hard cone heat resistant tube with internal screw thread (6) as a handle- receiving member.
  • Fig 4 illustrated a side cross-section of one embodiment of a silicone broom revealing the chassis (5) embedded into the head section of the silicone broom, the hard cone heat resistant tube with internal screw thread (6) and the squeegee blade (8).
  • Fig 5 illustrates one embodiment of a chassis (5) with a cavity (7) to contain the hard cone heat resistant tube with internal screw thread that supports the brooms' stick handle according to one embodiment.
  • Fig 6 illustrates a side view of the chassis according to one embodiment of a silicone broom.
  • Fig 7 illustrates the cross-section of one embodiment of the hard cone heat resistant tube with internal screw thread that connects the head of the silicone broom to the brooms' stick handle utilizing standard broom stick screw.
